LOL It does, in fact, say what I think it says. But it's okay to admit you misread something or didn't fully understand what you read.

So again. Let’s start with the basics. Where does it say there are more than two sexes?

Yes, the basics. As you define sex, there are more than two of them because you define sex based on the size of gametes. So at least four. Male, female, a sex comprised of people who do not have proper gonads to produce gametes, and an additional sex of people who can produce both kinds of gametes.

That's not what bimodal means.

What sex is someone who produces no gametes?

It never mentions this. Where in the paper does it say there are more than two sexes?

I don’t think in this entire now-four-day-long thread that anyone has ever suggested the existence of a third sex in humans.

That is wonderful. So what points do we actually now disagree on?

The same as ever: that there is a discrete binary definition of sex that identifies any individual person as male or female.

I like that the poor dude has been talking about this for days but still doesn’t understand that “not binary” doesn’t necessarily mean “trinary”. Imagine having that little intellectual curiosity! Or literacy, even.

Good faith would include doing things like providing evidence to support your claims when those claims are challenged. On a related note: what's the evidence to support your previous claim that the majority of instances of gynecomastia are "voluntary"?

I just call him by his real name which is Michael, because he hid anonymously, harassing others for the later part of a decade, I don't think he deserves to be treated with respect.

Is that why you haven't answered whether or not you can dispute the claim that 'male' and 'female' are shortcut terms laypeople use for the most prevalent outcomes from the gender roulette wheel, instead of the SCIENCE-SAYS only possible outcomes? I'm muted? Or was it the you-hate-freedom thing?

If it never mentions this, what do you do with those who exist but do not meet those definitions? What is the sex of an organism that cannot produce gametes within a species that can?
